Rain Barrel Contest

Erie County Rain Barrel Painting Contest registration is full at this time.

The Erie County Department of Environment and Planning is proud to announce the 2017 Rain Barrel Painting Contest for schools and student-based community groups in Erie and Niagara counties in honor of Earth Day 2017!

All are encouraged to enter as a team, either through a class or an after-school program. The team will design and paint a rain barrel provided by the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Buffalo, Inc. For our 5th year of the contest, the theme is Harvest a Resource, Recycle the Rain!

All participating schools will retain their final painted rain barrels to use, donate or raffle as desired.
